Figure 5
Standard deviation vs. mean proportion of eDNA found in the surface depth bin (0-100 m) for the sensitivity analysis of 972 simulations. All panels show the same data but colored by different parameters. Panels show the influences of seasons (summer, fall, winter, spring), percent of individuals that migrate (0, 50, 100%), vertical advection (\(10^{-4}\) ms\(^{-1}\), 0 ms\(^{-1}\), \(-10^{-4}\) ms\(^{-1}\)), settling rate (0 mday\(^{-1}\), 25 mday\(^{-1}\), 75 mday\(^{-1}\)), eDNA decay rate (0.01 h\(^{-1}\), a temperature dependent relationship, or 0.1 h\(^{-1}\),), and the ratio of small to large particles (all small, half small/half large, all large).
